Use of Referencing
Students will be required to use standard Harvard Referencing for both in-text citations and in the final reference list / bibliography.

While Harvard Referencing will be discussed in detail in Lecture 5 of this course, it is recommended that students visit the resource centre and obtain a copy of the Holmes Academic Guide to Harvard Referencing. This is also available in the student resources area of Blackboard.

You can also find additional information on Harvard Referencing style here:

Important: Due Date and Hardcopy / Electronic Submission

• •

Due Date:

Submission:

This assignment is due Friday 5pm in Week 6.

Submission after this date without prior agreement from your lecturer will incur standard late penalties.

All students will be required to submit:

  1. A printed hardcopy of their assignment that includes the relevant course/assignment

    coversheet

  2. An electronic copy MUST ALSO BE SUBMITTED to the Holmes Blackboard – Safe Assignment

    system by the due date.

  3. You must also provide a printed copy of the Safe Assign summary sheet that shows the

    percentage matching for your assignment.

  4. As a general guideline – the Safe Assignment ‘matching % to other sources’ must be less

    than or equal to 15% for this assignment.

Please note: Failure to submit either an electronic copy or hardcopy means that your lecturer will be unable to release a final mark for you. So please make sure that you SUBMIT BOTH by the due date.

Students are reminded that the work that they submit for this assignment must be their own, and should be appropriately referenced. If the ‘% matching’ for your assignment on the final submission to safe-assign is greater than 15% then your lecturer may choose to deduct marks, ask you to resubmit with a penalty applied, or allocate you a mark of zero.

Other
You should get to the point and avoid wordy repetitions (i.e. be succinct and clear). Any source references used in the

essay must be appropriately referenced (Harvard system).
However, try to avoid copying or stringing together lengthy quotes leaving little said in your own words. Finally it is extremely important that you are familiar with the university policy on plagiarism that is included in the unit outline.
